Take it that it is Rama that speaks through you and honour every word as Rama would have done. Consider how much Lakshmana had to repent for not acting, on one fateful occasion, according to the word he had given to Rama Himself. Rama had asked him to never leave Sita alone in the hermitage and he had agreed. But he left the place and that is how Ravana could kidnap Sita and carry her to his island city! Rama is Atma-Rama, the voice of God within. Do not disobey it or circumvent its directives. Pray that the voice alerts you ever, pray with humility and surrender to the advice. Then Rama will guide you right with compassion. Ramadas of Bhadhrachalam was thrown into prison; he was whipped without mercy. But he never lost faith in Rama. He pleaded plaintively for grace, and he was able to earn divine intervention to save himself from torture. Unwavering faith is the sign of spiritual success. That is the result of the awareness of one's inner Reality, the stabilising core, the Divine in man.
